Arrest record published by the FBI as "Al Capone Arrest Record, 1932" and captioned as dated May 4, 1932, the day the Alcatraz warden's notebook gives as the start of his tax sentence.

The FBI image repository titles this entry "Al Capone Arrest Record, 1932" and captions it "Arrest record for Al Capone dated May 4. 1932." (punctuation as printed). It illustrates the FBI history page [Al Capone](/items/fbi-history-al-capone/). The repository lists the file at 3,997 KB.

May 4, 1932 is also the "Sentence began" date typed on Capone's Alcatraz warden's notebook page ([NAID 236736566](/items/nara-236736566-alcatraz-wardens-notebook-capone-85/)). The FBI caption does not say where the record was made or what the entries on it are, and this page does not describe the image beyond the caption.
